TaCito says "Welcome Baby Webb!!"

I was pleasantly surprised, today, by a group of my co-workers, when they threw me a Surprise Baby Shower at the office.

The afternoon started with yesterday's invitation to join my co-workers Angela and Tara for lunch today. As we piled into Tara's car, they asked me where I wanted to go. I volunteered to let them choose, but they insisted that since I was the "pregnant one" I should choose, and even went on to say that they were treating me to lunch. I wondered, "What are these ladies up to?" But happily suggested La Madeleines...I LOVE La Madeleines (and I rarely get to go for lunch, because I usually spend my lunch hour relaxing by myself). When we arrived, I insisted that they not pay, but they insisted right back that they wanted to treat me to lunch as a congratulations on my upcoming arrival. I didn't want to hold up any line forming behind me, so I gave in. Lunch was quite delicious!! Salad sampler: caesar salad, strawberries and tomato basil soup (they have the best). Yum!!

After finishing lunch, they requested that we stop at a park up the street from our office, so they could have a quick smoke...not wanting to smoke around me in an enclosed area due to my current condition. It was very nice weather outside, so I didn't mind at all.

Ten minutes or so later we were heading back to the office.

As we pulled up, Angela asked me to meet her in the conference room, said she had something to show me (I thought this was a little odd and wondered again, "What are these ladies up to?"). Then, as we walked in the door, Tina told me that a woman named Sabrina was waiting in the conference room for me...I don't know any Sabrina...however, after clocking in, I headed to the conference room. Tina was standing near by and said "she's in there" and pointed...I peaked over the cubicles, in the direction of the conference room, and the darkness of the room made me realize "something's up!!"

As I rounded the corner, I saw baby gift bags sitting on the table and knew. A giant grin came to my face..."A shower for me?!?!" As I walked in, I saw all of the girls of the office surrounding the conference room table..."SURPRISE!!"

It was so very sweet of them!! The girls had brought presents, Tabatha made a wreath of diapers, there were pink streamers and even a pink message on the flip chart welcoming baby, plus punch and cupcakes on the table. As I continued to grin, I blurted out "sneaky sneaky" while glancing in Angela and Tara's direction.

I can not wait to get home tonight to show Eddie all of the wonderful things they bought for our baby girl. It was a very pleasant surprise to my day!! Thank you to the ladies at TaCito!! Baby says "Thank You" too!!
